Visão Geral

Curso Ansible Introductory and Intermediate Configuration and Administration, Ansible é um poderoso mecanismo de código aberto para automatizar o gerenciamento de configuração, provisionamento de software e implantação de aplicativos. Este curso de treinamento introdutório e intermediário do Ansible ensina aos participantes os fundamentos do Ansible, incluindo como criar playbooks, aproveitar módulos e configurar funções. Os alunos então levam suas habilidades para o próximo nível com tópicos avançados, incluindo construção de manuais, utilização de módulos e gerenciamento de nós e muito mais. Além disso, este curso abrange o Ansible Tower.

Objetivo

Após realizar este Curso Ansible Introductory and Intermediate Configuration and Administration, você será capaz de:

• Instalar e configurar nó de controle Ansible e nó(s) gerenciado(s)
• Criar e executar manuais
• Use módulos Ansible padrão
• Criar módulos personalizados
• Criar e modificar definições de hosts (inventário)
• Criar e usar funções
• Projete uma estratégia de 'melhores práticas' para usar os recursos do Ansible
• Explore o Ansible Tower como uma solução para gerenciar graficamente o Ansible em toda a empresa
• Execute a configuração avançada para um nó de controle Ansible e nós gerenciados
• Use condicionais, loops, filtros e loopbacks em playbooks
• Controle a saída ad-hoc e playbook com plug-ins de retorno de chamada
• Crie e implemente definições de inventário dinâmico
• Implemente recursos e dependências de funções reutilizáveis
• Controle as operações do Ansible Core com parâmetros de tempo de execução
• Crie modelos para escrever um módulo personalizado do Ansible
• Adicionar documentação a um módulo personalizado do Ansible
• Criar e usar variáveis ​​de fato locais
• Implemente variáveis ​​de fato locais em nós gerenciados
• Escrever playbooks para coletar dados de nós gerenciados

Pre-Requisitos

• Supõe-se que os participantes sejam administradores de sistemas, desenvolvedores e/ou testadores com algum conhecimento básico de script (bash, ksh, Perl ou Python) e tenham uma compreensão dos utilitários/comandos fundamentais do sistema nos sistemas Linux e Windows.
